I would expect that he is joking, but I think that hate, in similar vein to
that which Lorrey promotes, is largely responsible for today's events.
Whoever perpetrated these awful acts didn't see buildings full of atheists,
christians, muslims, hindus, red, black, white, yellow people of all
sexualities from every country on the planet. They saw a disembodied symbol
of America and were filled with hate.

We live in an information age. We should make best use of that and
undermine hate. I don't believe you will ever exterminate terrorism until
racism, nationalism, and religion have the light of good sense illuminate
their darkest recesses of ignorance.

Bombs and guns don't stop hatred; they ferment it.
